Movement creates change

Whoever moves, moves everything: everything around him and everything within him, so things can be released and rearranged that the head could not release.

Frau, die gegen orange Wand
“The body often knows the answer,
before the head asks the question.”

Daria Halprin, dance therapist and daughter of Anna Halprin

What to expect on your first visit

Personal encounter, individual support

During our initial consultation (approximately 60-90 minutes), I'll take the time to get to know you and your current situation. We'll discuss together what changes you wish for and are striving for. From this, we'll develop achievable goals together, which we'll use throughout our collaboration to maintain our focus and make progress visible.

 

At the end of the session, I will guide you through a body awareness exercise, focusing for example on your feet. In my work with you, I want to show you ways to better understand yourself; discover your strengths and learn how to deal with your weaknesses in a friendly way. Methods that we use include relaxation exercises, breathing exercises, body awareness exercises, and movement exercises.

 

Before the end of the session, we will discuss together how we will proceed and make subsequent appointments accordingly.

What exactly is dance and movement therapy?

Dance and movement therapy is a body-oriented form of psychotherapy. It uses movement, dance, and mindfulness to create access to your inner world of experiences – access to spaces where words are (still) not accesible.

The focus is not on dance ability, but on what can be felt, seen, and changed through movement. Feelings, thoughts, and inner tensions often manifest themselves in the body—in posture, breathing, rhythm, or tension. Dance therapy picks up on these signals and supports the conscious perception, expression, and integration of them. ​

 

What can dance therapy achieve?

  • Strengthening the connection to one's own body

  • Expressing and regulating emotions

  • Promoting self-confidence and joy in life

  • Finding access to inner images, resources, and identity

  • Creatively dealing with stress, overexertion, or inner conflicts

What does a session look like in dance therapy?

We move freely, mindfully, or thematically—alone, in a group, or with guidance. Music, silence, space, and encounters support the process. The physical work is complemented by reflective conversation, if desired or helpful. It's not about "dancing properly," but about getting in touch with yourself—with what you feel, need, or want to let go of. ​

 

Who is dance therapy suitable for?

  • for all people who... seek a holistic approach to themselves 

  • for peopel who want work with psychosomatic or emotional issues

  • for people who want to (re)discover their creative, vibrant side

  • for people who want to release emotional blockages or stress through the body

  • for people who want to explore new forms of expression, self-care, and healing

Daniela Hasche Dance and Movement Therapist Profile Picture

About me

Hello, I'm Daniela Hasche. I discovered dance through my love of movement early as a child — from ballet to hip hop and salsa. I've been guided by the joy of expressing myself through movement and the body, communicating with myself and my needs, and experiencing community as well as individuality. In my work as a dance and movement therapist, I want to share my experience and create a space where you can express yourself without judgment and get in touch with all the emotions of the rainbow. Above all, you can experience the joy of movement and learn simple techniques for stress management and body awareness.
